Cenk Runs The Numbers on Hillary vs. Sanders - Who Is Out Front? Surprising Answer




Cenk Uygur is convinced.... Bernie Sanders is THE Democratic front runner. Nationally. Not just in Iowa or New Hampshire.

The host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down, including how one campaign is using metrics today that are different from just a few month ago about what determines who is the front runner, and what he thinks about the race today, and going forward nationally -- not just in New Hampshire and Iowa.

An interesting review for sure

Feel the Bern! The momentum is growing fast, the message is resonating and that's no surprise.

It is what it is. Go Bernie Go!

I hope more people than Cenk feel the same way. Cenk said Obama was not in as good a position as Senator

Sanders is. So what position was Obama in after after Iowa? Five points back? Ten? Fifteen? No national support?

Just thinking out loud here.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton announced this week that she had topped chief rival Barack Obama in third quarter donations and now the New York senator is leading the Democratic field by a whopping 33 points in the latest national poll.

Biden is still in these polls, but he has not announced yet.

We cannot stop working for Bernie. We need to increase our efforts to get people to know Bernie.

Don't you agree? Why not embrace debates? This is supposedly the DEmocratic Party.

And your proof is what, just an assumption?

Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

How hasn't she not embraced debates? She doesn't set the rules.

She just officially declared she's a moderate and her foreign policy speech sounded as hawkish as any Republican (painting Iran as a "subject" and not a partner amongst other beauts).

Hillary will have the voting machines in her favor though. So, Bernie will have to have a comfortable lead, and it's possible he will do just that.

I also wanted a President Dean, and the media tricksters took him down.

I really hope Bernie pulls it off, but I put NOTHING past the media and the party insiders.

We will just have to come up with a new narrative. Bernie's a pacifist!

I don't think that one will fly. The Bush Administration claimed the Iraq War would be free. The Iraq War turned out to cost the American people several trillion dollars. And Dubya cut taxes to top it off. Great thinking there, Dubya.

But that was okay because the Righties® could claim that 'entitlements' were the cause of the deficit. Well, that isn't flying with the American people. After all this war the American people wouldn't even mind a pacifist for change. Even though Bernie isn't really a pacifist. Bernie simply believes war should be a last resort not a first falsified choice.
